Landlords whose performance is not up to scratch should be named and shamed, the Housing Corporation has been told.

In an unusual step, New Charter Housing Trust this week unmasked itself as one of 39 associations that had taken part in a pilot study of its performance reporting systems.

Ian Munro, group chief executive of New Charter, said those rated poor in the report should be named. He challenged the corporation to drop the cloak of anonymity when the study went national.

A corporation spokeswoman said: “This was a pilot study. Associations knew results would be anonymous.”

The results of the RSM Robson Rhodes study, announced last Wednesday, showed 80% of the 39 associations were calculating their re-let turnaround times wrongly. New Charter was not one of those.
